Kaiju No. 8 episode 3 recap
In Kaiju No. 8 Episode 3, we witness Kafka Hibino’s struggle during the Defense Force’s second aptitude test. The episode opens with a flashback to Kafka lifting a car, showcasing his strength. However, as the episode progresses, Kafka faces a significant challenge.
The episode begins with Kikoru Shinomiya using her battle suit to move Kafka’s truck, claiming her preferred parking spot. In response, Kafka subtly transforms his hand into its Kaiju form and repositions his truck, declaring his name to Shinomiya with a confident grin.
Despite his intense training, Kafka disappoints in the fitness test, choosing not to use his Kaiju powers out of fairness to the other examinees. His performance is lackluster compared to the prodigious talents of Shinomiya and the other candidates.
As the episode unfolds, Kafka’s failures are highlighted, drawing parallels to Deku from “My Hero Academia” during his entrance exams. Kafka’s moment of truth arrives when he must decide whether to use his powers to pass the test.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers to wonder if Kafka will recover from his setbacks and harness his Kaiju abilities to succeed in the Defense Force exams.
